    I am struggling to figure out how to make features radially (extrusions
    & cuts). I am working with cylindrical parts that must mesh with each
    other in a cam/gear like mechanism. For the parts to align properly the
    features must all work out radially from the part. Any thoughts.
    Thanks in advance.

    Suppose you create a thin shell polygon coaxial with your base cylinder, then
    sketch the profiles of the radial features on the flat faces of the polygon and
    extrude them. There are multi-body tools for trimming the excess extrusion.
